Car at Rs -30k the People's car NANO (used)

I was looking for a second car that servers my Daily need eg shopping, going to college etc and was looking for a low budget small used car .. Then I decided to buy a nano and I'm 100% satisfied. It's a very good car gives great gas mileage and it's quite comfortable .. It's ideal for learners/students/extra car/ for daily use .. You can get a used nano of good condition at approx 40-50k. Suggestion - before buying it get it checked by a mechanic / authorized service centre.

Good

Tata GenX Nano AMT

By Ninad Mirajgaonkar01 May 2015

Even after the launch in 2008, the Nano has been a work in progress for Tata Motors. Where it could have been tagged as a convenient city car, the Nano became rather infamous as the ‘cheapest car’ that few wanted to associate with. Six years and many iterations later, it seems that Tata has finally got the formula right. The Nano GenX with the automatic transmission, on paper, looks like a perfect package offering brilliant driving dynamics, convenience and also a respectable features list. We drove the new car in and around Pune city to find out if the GenX Nano is all you need as an everyday city commuter.

Tata Nano Twist

By Ninad Mirajgaonkar13 Jan 2014

The Nano is a study in contradictions. It was originally conceived to be the poor man’s car, but the poor man doesn’t have a car in our country. Not yet. It met all the things it promised – it was good-looking, cheap, seated four six-footers in comfort, and, accounting for all the things that went against it like a fluctuating Rupee and having to move a completely built factory across the breadth of the country, it miraculously managed to stay within sight of its intended target price. Even so, it hasn’t racked up the numbers that Tata Motors expected. Here, then, is the 2013 Tata Nano with the electronic power steering that promises to make up for the shortcomings of the previous model.
